THE CROWN ESTATE
GIANT MACHINERY, DARK MINES AND VAST QUARRIES, THERE'S MORE TO THE CROWN ESTATE THAN YOU MIGHT EXPECT
This industrial photography commission for The Crown Estate took us across the country to capture quarries, sawmills, and mines. The project aimed to document the extraction of mineral resources on Crown Estate land, creating a comprehensive image library that showcases every stage of the process, from quarry or forest to finished materials. These images are designed to promote the use of locally sourced materials for new building projects on Crown Estate sites, reducing the need to source resources from external suppliers.
This type of commercial and industrial photography is fascinating, offering a diverse range of subjects and challenges. From the dramatic slate quarries of North Wales to the incredible stone mines deep beneath Portland, each location provides unique opportunities to capture stunning imagery. Below are some of the highlights from these projects.
